TIP: Receiving Announcements in your work email In-box

To make sure you receive the announcements in your work email you need to select the first 2 fields located in your profile preferences. This makes sure email is turned on in general and it's saying you’ll be notified of everything you receive in your Community inbox, which is where announcements are sent. (See image below).

There is not a setting just to have announcements turned on so my recommendation is if you choose to do this, create a folder specifically for Community Inbox (basically all or nothing) so it's not cluttering up your work inbox.
